The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

All in all, The LEGO Movie 2 feels like more movie than the first one, which somehow winds up making it feel like less.

It's only really in the last 20 minutes of the film that it all comes together and you can appreciate what the movie is trying to say about working collaboratively and sharing something you love

If you're willing to let the quantum mechanics slide, you'll have a pretty awesome time.

There was a super heartwarming theme to it all, one I understood and agreed with. I liked the third act and how it wrapped things up...but just because the message is good doesn't mean that it worked.

The Lego Movie 2 has serious points to make about human relationships but undermines them by always reverting to a stance of cheeky self-awareness.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part might not be as awesome as its forerunner but that doesn't make it any less worthwhile.

The first film’s narrative was intrinsically tied with building things and creativity, ideas heavily associated with Lego. This just feels like a generic kids movie adventure that would work with or without the Legos.

There are smart ideas being worked out here, but the direction doesn’t feel as if it utilizes them fully this time around.

It is so much... you smile the whole time.

It's not just some throwaway cash-grab movie that's made just for children; it's not the most revolutionary thing in the world either, but it did put a smile on this face from start to finish.
